(Minghui.org) This is a true story about the neighbor who lived in my front yard when I lived in a rural area in 2007.
At that time, due to the upcoming Beijing Olympics, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was persecuting Dafa and practitioners severely. Police and others often came to harass me at home. This put my family under a great deal of stress, so I decided to go to my hometown.
One day, my front yard neighbor bought 20 baby chicks and stacked them up in a bucket. I asked him, “Why don’t you put them in a box?” He said he didn’t have one, so I went home and found one.
When I went to his house to give him the box, I saw that his new house had not yet been painted and there were no doors or windows. I asked him what had happened.
He told me that his wife had died in childbirth, and he was left with their two children. At that time, his son was 16, and his sister-in-law took care of his infant daughter. He took his son to work with him to make money. When his daughter turned five, he took her back and raised her. He also built a new house in order to help his son get married. Everything was planned well.
However, as soon as the house was built, his brother-in-law came to visit him and told him that his wife was suffering from septicemia. He came to borrow money to get her treated. My neighbor thought saving a life was more important than finishing his house. The brother’s family lived in the mountainous area. It was very hard for them to make money, and he had to borrow from a lot of people. My neighbor decided to stop building his house and lent money to the brother-in-law’s family.
I asked, “Was his wife cured?” He said, “After spending 50,000 to 60,000 yuan in Beijing, she was still not cured and had to return home. The other day when I went to visit her, she cried that they spent all the money and nothing helped. She had to return home and just wait to die. It is very sad.”
I told him, “In big cities, people talk about 'magic words.' As long as you sincerely repeat, 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good; Falun Dafa is good,' you will be safe when facing disasters. Falun Dafa is the Great Law of the universe. You should tell your sister-in-law these words and ask that she and her whole family recite them often. It will help. If she has a predestined relationship, she might recover quickly.” He agreed. That afternoon, I gave him the 2007 Shen Yun Performing Arts CD and a brochure with information about Falun Dafa. He said he would take it to them the next day.
A month later, he told me that his brother-in-law’s wife's health had improved significantly. She watched the Shen Yun DVD every day and repeated “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Her family also said it with her. She didn’t take any more medicine, her swelling went down and she was able to eat again. She could sleep and move around by herself. He said, “The disease that couldn’t be cured by hospitals was cured by just repeating those nine magic words. Falun Dafa is truly wonderful and magical.”
I told him the truth about the persecution, the staged Tiananmen Self-immolation, and withdrawing from the CCP and its organizations. He agreed to quit the Young Pioneers. I told him to let his brother-in-law’s family know about it as well and ask them to withdraw from the CCP. It would benefit his entire family.
After a while, he came to tell me that his brother-in-law’s wife had completely recovered. She could go back to work. Many people knew that she suffered from septicemia and wasn’t cured in the Beijing hospitals, but recovered from watching a Shen Yun DVD and repeating “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” The neighbors all came to her house to watch the Shen Yun DVD together and also repeated “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” (Regarding withdrawing from the CCP, he mentioned that nobody had ever joined the CCP.) He said his brother-in-law's wife really wanted to come visit me, but she couldn’t handle walking on the mountain roads. She asked him to thank me. I said, “Don’t thank me. It was all done by Master. Let’s all thank Master!”
Several months later, he said his brother-in-law's wife went out of town to visit her grandson. He told me, "Since you taught me to repeat ‘Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ I’ve been doing it every day. Sometimes when my daughter or I didn’t feel well, we say ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ and ask Master to protect us. We usually get better very soon. It truly works!”
He also told me how he was able to avoid danger three times. Once, he was carrying his daughter on his bike to the market to buy groceries. On their way there, they were hit by a motorcycle. His daughter was crying.
After he got up and went to hold his daughter, he thought, “It’s okay because we are protected by Falun Gong.” He checked his daughter and she was just scared, not hurt. The motorcyclist was scared and said, “Let’s go to the hospital.” He said, “No, we are fine. I believe in Falun Gong and we are protected by Master Li. We don’t need to go to the hospital.”
He then noticed that his daughter’s seat was broken. The person that had hit them took out 50 yuan to get them a new seat, but he didn’t accept it. They then went to get a 25-yuan new seat together. He told me, “If this had happened before, I would have asked for at least 100 yuan. Now I believe in Falun Gong, I know not to take advantage of others. I need to accumulate virtue.”
Another time, he was cutting logs at work and accidentally injured his leg. He lost a lot of blood. His boss took him to a hospital immediately. The doctor said he would need anesthesia and stitches because the cut was deep. He said, “No need for stitches, please just cover it for me. I believe in Falun Gong. I will recover in a couple of days.”
He kept repeating “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” in his mind. The doctor saw that he was insistent, so he only applied some antibiotic and covered the wound. His boss gave him 100 yuan and told him to go home and rest for several days. He did not accept the money and still went to work the next day. He did not take any medicine and, indeed, recovered in a few days without any scarring.
The third time, while he was working at a construction site, he fell from the rooftop but only sprained his ankle. He didn’t go to the hospital, instead he recited “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He recovered after ten days. He said, “Falun Gong is so magical!”
Through his own experience, this neighbor truly realized that repeating “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” can help ensure a person's safety. He also understood why Falun Gong practitioners persevere in cultivation practice despite the persecution. He said, “You all are truly amazing!”
Thank you, Master, for compassionately protecting sentient beings!
